Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 22 August 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the website toolcompatibility.com (the “Site”), operated by ToolCompatibility.com of London, United Kingdom (“we”, “us”, “our”). They set out the basis on which we make the Site available to you. If you do not agree with them, please stop using the Site.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms apply to your use of the Site, together with our Privacy Policy and our Disclaimer. The Site is free to use and we are not selling you anything, so these Terms are a notice of the basis on which the information is provided rather than a contract for goods or services. Nothing in them affects rights you have under consumer protection law that cannot be excluded, and section 4 sets out plainly what we are and are not responsible for.

2. Nature of Content — Information Only, Not Professional Advice

The content on this Site is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to engineering advice, safety advice, trade advice, or product recommendations.

All battery compatibility information, tool specifications, cross-compatibility data, and accessory guides published on this Site represent our best understanding based on publicly available manufacturer specifications and our own research at the time of publication. This information may contain errors, omissions, or become outdated as manufacturers update their product lines.

You must not rely on the information on this Site as a substitute for:

Reading and following the manufacturer’s official documentation, user manuals, and safety warnings for your specific tools, batteries, chargers, and accessories. Consulting the manufacturer directly if you have any doubt about the compatibility or safe use of any product. Seeking professional advice from a qualified tradesperson, engineer, or safety professional where appropriate. Performing your own independent verification of any compatibility information before using any product combination.

3. Safety Warnings and Assumption of Risk

IMPORTANT: Power tools, batteries, chargers, and accessories can cause serious injury, death, fire, explosion, and property damage if used incorrectly or with incompatible components.

Using incompatible batteries, chargers, discs, blades, drill bits, or other accessories with power tools can result in: battery fires and thermal runaway, explosions, electric shock, tool damage or malfunction, projectile hazards from disc or blade failure, burns, lacerations, and other serious physical injuries, property damage, and death.

By using the information on this Site, you expressly acknowledge and accept that:

You are solely responsible for verifying the compatibility of any tool, battery, charger, or accessory combination before use. You will always follow the manufacturer’s official compatibility guidance, safety warnings, and operating instructions. You will inspect all tools, batteries, and accessories before each use. You will wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as recommended by the manufacturer. You understand that compatibility information on this Site may be incomplete, incorrect, or outdated. Because we cannot see your tool, your workpiece or your working conditions, the decision to use any particular product or combination — and the responsibility for using it safely — is yours. This does not affect the responsibilities we accept in section 4, or any right you have that cannot be excluded by law.

4. Our responsibility for loss or damage

We never exclude our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights, including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

What this Site is. The Site provides general information about tool and accessory compatibility. It is not professional, engineering or safety advice, and it is not a substitute for the manufacturer’s own instructions. We compile our guides from manufacturer specifications, manuals and published standards; we do not physically test products unless a page says so. Specifications change and errors are possible, so you should always confirm details against the manufacturer’s current documentation before buying or using a product.

What we are responsible for. If we fail to use reasonable care and skill in preparing the information on this Site, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of that failure. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen, or if, at the time you used the Site, both we and you knew it might happen.

What we are not responsible for. We are not responsible for loss or damage that is not foreseeable in that sense. In particular, and to the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for how a tool, battery, charger or accessory is selected, fitted, maintained or used, or for a manufacturer’s own product defects, since we neither make nor supply any of the products described here.

If you are a business user. If you use the Site wholly or mainly for the purposes of your trade, business, craft or profession, then, except for the liabilities set out in the first paragraph of this section, we exclude all implied conditions, warranties, representations or other terms that may apply to the Site or its content, and we will not be liable to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity, however arising. Our total liability to a business user for all other claims arising out of your use of the Site is limited to £100.

5. Indemnity (business users only)

This section applies only if you use the Site wholly or mainly for the purposes of your trade, business, craft or profession. It does not apply to consumers.

If you are a business user, you agree to indemnify us against any claims, liabilities, losses and reasonable costs that we suffer because you have breached these Terms, or because of any unlawful use you make of the Site or its content.

6. Affiliate Links and Product Recommendations

Affiliate disclosure: This Site contains affiliate links to Amazon.co.uk and other retailers. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. We are a participant in the Amazon Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for us to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.co.uk and affiliated sites.

FTC compliance (United States): In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose that we receive compensation through affiliate commissions when you purchase products through links on this Site. This material connection between us and the retailers we link to may influence which products appear on the Site, though our compatibility data is based on manufacturer specifications and independent research.

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our compatibility data. Compatibility information is based on manufacturer specifications and independent research, not commercial relationships. However, you should be aware that we have a financial incentive when you purchase products through our links.

We do not control the pricing, availability, or quality of products sold by third-party retailers. Any purchases you make through affiliate links are subject to the retailer’s own terms and conditions. We are not a party to any transaction between you and any third-party retailer.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we expressly disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and any applicable US state or federal law.

Product specifications, compatibility information, pricing, and availability are subject to change by manufacturers and retailers without notice. We may not always reflect the most current information. Model numbers, battery systems, and compatibility rules may change between product revisions without external indication.

We reserve the right to update, modify, or remove any content on the Site at any time without notice.

12. Governing law and where you can bring proceedings

These Terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer resident in another part of the United Kingdom, or in a country whose law gives you mandatory protection, you keep the benefit of that protection and you may bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live. Otherwise, the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction.

If you are a business user, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Site.

We do not impose any shortened time limit for bringing a claim; the ordinary statutory limitation periods apply.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and Tool Compatibility regarding your use of the Site and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
